<p>I’d like to know as much as I can about this family being Walter’s only connection.</p>
<p>It is possible they moved to Liverpool according to family stories, certainly there is a death in 1950 which could be Emily Jul-Aug-Sep 1950 , Liverpool South age 84. </p>
<p>I’d like to be able to find out at least if this is her and where she is buried so I could visit at somepoint.</p>
<p>Any other information would be a bonus.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Unable to gain access to the interior, I settled for some exterior photographs - one of the images taken reveals the Rev J Billington 1837 – 1844.</p>
<p>Of course, I am curious as to who he was and if there was a connection at all to my family, although he was in house some ten years after Jane’s baptism and of course, i am aware that the surname in Lancashire is more common than it is elsewhere.</p>
<p>I thought I might find him on the 1841 Census but a name search does not come up and I am not familiar enough to know which sub district to search ( presume he lived close to ST Mary’s)</p>
<p>The church web site mentions him only in passing and I cannot find anymore about him anywhere. Normally there would be something in alumni records or an obituary somewhere.</p>
<p>Can anyone offer any help ?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>A possible relative of mine disappeared to Spain in the early 20<sup>th</sup> Century. His or her name was B Franklin and what happened to him or her , we do not know.</p>
<p>Our last contact was in 1910 when he or she was close to or in the employment of the Count De La Vega Del Sella in Neuvas Asturias, Northern Spain.</p>
<p>I know a little about the count but really nothing about B Franklin.</p>
<p>Anyone out there know anything ? because 'I know nothing........'</p>
